Three people name off pets, family names, dollar amount of coins in their pocket, which appear on the back of cards that had predictions from the beginning of the effect. Plus how to use a folded card inside of a sealed envelope for the reveal. He also introduces a method of writing with the thumb freely without actually holding the paper. Of course, it contains her birthday.ĭuring the explanation section, Richard shows the ups and downs of different papers/cards you can use. Richard walks out with a folded piece of paper in his hand, asks a woman from the audience to name a random number (which happens to be her birthday), and immediately hands out the paper for reading to the rest of the audience. Both under nail and thumb tip gimmicks, discussing the benefits and disadvantages of each. Richard shows 8 varieties of writers, from grease pencils to regular lead ones.
They have also gone through the book, and picked out things that they believe best represent the overall demonstration of each step. He has tried to update some of the effects with some fresh ideas. Richard doesn't agree with everything in the book, has his own ideas on approaches and modernization to a variety of tricks. Introduction / Discussion of the Book (9 mins) Introduction to Corinda's 13 Steps to Mentalism - 2 mins I don't feel this distracts much from the videos, and really enjoyed watching his take on various effects. He does "uh" and "um" a lot more than usual, pace a bit much and doesn't seem 100% comfortable, but he does address this in a reply on the Cafe. I've seen some discussion about Richard being a bit out of his element in these, which is somewhat true.
Overall, the videos run over 12 hours in length and are filmed in a small studio complete with the large eyeballs from the book in the backdrop. The video and sound are of course exceptional, as with all products they create. This is from L&L so you have the usual overreactions, cute girls with cleavage and lots of skin plus the cheesy music between segments.
